The consort selection was about to arrive, and during this period, even Yuwen Lingxi was extremely busy. What she was most conflicted about was how to display her arrogance and domineering attitude.

"Empress, the name of the Elementary Scholar has already been sent to you. Would you like to take a look?"

The person who came was Yuwen Lingxi's maidservant, and also someone that Lu Zhang had purposely arranged for her.

Yuwen Lingxi took the name scroll from the maid's hand and secretly wrote down the names of the daughters of nobles. Unsurprisingly, the first person on the list was her sister. It was said that Yuwen Lingmin was very similar to her.

At the end of the list were the daughters of the commoners in the capital. Most of them wanted to fly up to the branches and win the favor of their family, so they had more confidence in their own homes.

"Does the Empress want to summon them?"

Yuwen Lingxi thought to herself, if the position of the daughter of a powerful family in the capital was too low, then naturally it would be impossible.

"Let them go to Zhaoyang Palace and wait there."

After the maidservants' orders were passed down, Yuwen Lingxi went to the main hall to drink another cup of tea before she left. Since she was the imperial concubine of the palace, she naturally had to put on a show of authority.

Over here, the beautiful ladies standing in line were naturally displeased.

Their father was one of the most influential people in the imperial court, and the one with the lowest status was also a noble woman in the capital. Their father was one of the most influential people in the imperial court, and the one with the lowest authority was also a noble woman in the imperial court, and their status was much higher than the woman who sold songs in her restaurant.

"Sister Yuwen, we've been kneeling here for two hours already, and yet Noble Consort and I are still not coming. This is clearly putting on airs for us." The pink-clothed girl was Ling'er, the little queen of the Minister of Rites, Lord Wang's family. The pink-clothed woman was Ling'er, the little queen of the Minister of Rites' family.

Yuwen Lingmin frowned and stood up directly. She turned around and said to the girls who were still kneeling, "When we enter the palace, we will all be sisters. Today, Noble Consort and I gathered us all together and made everyone kneel here for nothing.

As Yuwen Lingmin returned to her own room, there were a few girls who hesitated and did not dare to get up. Their status was relatively low, so they did not dare to offend any of the nobles in the palace. Only two women were kneeling straight, completely unaffected by the outside world.

One of them was Chu Xiu, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue's family. She looked elegant and refined, with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows. The other one was in the commoner's circle. This elegant was a person from the Penglai Island, and was deliberately arranged by Yuwen Lingxi. Her appearance was naturally not bad, and the fragrance around her was extremely fragrant, with three parts sickly and three parts weak, just like a fan out of a book.

"Lady Noble Consort is here ~"

Following the eunuch's shout, Yuwen Lingxi walked in leisurely. It was still red-clothed, still arrogant and despotic, but it really made people feel like it was a noble feeling.

"Why are there so few people? Where are the others?" Yuwen Lingxi had already known about the situation over here. She had been waiting for such an opportunity.

"Reporting to the Empress, the rest of the people have gone back to their rooms to rest because of the unbearable heat."

Yuwen Lingxi glanced at the nurtured mama in the palace. Most of these people had probably accepted bribes, so they naturally had to speak up for the noble ladies.

"Call them all out for me."

After only a quarter of an hour, the previously retreating maidservants neatly returned to the courtyard. "They're still in the palace. I'm not going to listen to them. Is this how this mama teaches you?"

Yuwen Lingxi stared at these people, her eyes becoming increasingly sharp.

"Ever since I entered the palace, I have never seen such an arrogant and despotic person. Come, tell me, who led this group?"

All the beautiful girls were silent. None of them dared to bring up Yuwen Lingmin.

"Who led you? Tell me. Otherwise, kneel here for 24 hours before you leave."

"I brought it."

The one who spoke was Yuwen Lingmin. This time, she was also dressed in red. She stood up and stood in front of Yuwen Lingxi. There were actually a few people who felt that she was on equal footing with her.

"Good, you sure have the guts to take responsibility. The young girl from the Prime Minister's Clan really does have some guts."

"The Emperor has arrived."

The moment Lu Zhang arrived, he saw the scene of the two opposing each other. Lu Zhang walked up to Yuwen Lingxi and stopped her. Yuwen Lingxi also fell into Lu Zhang's arms.

"Love Consort, what's wrong? Why are you in such a big battle formation? What grievances did you have with me? I'll help you."

"Your Majesty has referred such a large matter to a concubine, and this concubine is afraid that she might not be able to handle it well. She wanted to meet all her sisters in advance, but who would've thought that in the time it takes for her to drink a cup of tea, these sisters wouldn't be able to wait any longer. If they were to enter the palace, wouldn't they have some rules?"

Lu Zhang snickered in his heart. This ghost spirit's acting is so realistic, but on the surface, he still silently agreed with her, "That won't do. Love Consort, how do you think we should discipline them?"

"Chenqie feels that since I have failed to teach them well, I should change a new batch of them. There are also these beautiful ladies who left early. I must teach them well."

"Alright, alright, alright. Listen to Love Consort. Whatever you say, don't not get angry."

This scene caused many pretty girls to be envious. The Emperor was in his prime, and his appearance was also that of a fairy. They doted on Noble Consort, and this was how they treated their beloved husband.

After coaxing Yuwen Lingxi, Lu Zhang finally got the ladies to stand up. The two of them started singing one after another, which was a good show.

Lu Zhang pointed at Yuwen Lingmin and said, "Whose family is this? How come it is similar to my Noble Consort's?"

Yuwen Lingxi continued, "This is the daughter of the Prime Minister. Chenqie is of humble birth, how could she dare to climb up the branch of the Prime Minister?"

"Love Consort is going to have a short temper again. You don't need to climb up to be the Prime Minister. I'm your branch after all. Who else can be as good as me?"

Yuwen Lingxi pursed her lips and said no more.

"Alright, since your appearance is similar to mine, then don't wear red in the future. Red is bewitching, it's better to dress in a dignified manner."

Yuwen Lingmin was stifled, but she knew that she shouldn't speak now, so she could only agree.

"What, does Your Majesty think that chenqie is alluring?" Since it's so pretty, your majesty might as well not come to Xihe Palace anymore. "

Yuwen Lingxi pretended to have a short temper because she wanted to see how Lu Zhang would continue with the show.

"Love Consort is Zhen's little demoness. This is the only one in my life. How can I let others snatch her away?"

Yuwen Lingxi and Lu Zhang looked at each other. The meaning in their eyes were obvious. They said: 'Pei is too disgusting.' Then, they turned into a gaze filled with love.

"Your Majesty, there are so many sisters here, I wonder which sister will make fun of you tomorrow."

Lu Zhang felt helpless and gave Yuwen Lingxi a look that was almost the same as saying, "Look at Noble Consort, you guys have yet to enter the palace, and now you're eating too. In the future, when you enter the palace, you have to treat her well, otherwise, if Noble Consort gets angry, I won't be able to pull you back."

Yuwen Lingxi smiled. "Your Majesty understands my temper."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Once we enter the palace, we will definitely serve the Empress with all our hearts."

Yuwen Lingxi raised her head and saw that it was actually the elegant woman.

"Which family are you from? You're quite like me."

The woman was neither humble nor haughty as she said, "My name is Chu Xiu, and my father is the Minister of Revenue, Chu Shiye."

Yuwen Lingxi looked at her carefully again and found that this woman seemed to be looking at Lu Li with a light in her eyes, as if she was in love with him. She was not only smiling, but also getting interesting.

"Your Majesty, this lady and my appetite, Your Majesty must keep her."

Lu Zhang smiled dotingly at Yuwen Lingxi and said gently, "Alright, alright, alright. Listen to Noble Consort. Noble Consort says you can keep whoever you want. If you want to be happy, I'm willing to do anything."

Yuwen Lingxi cursed in her heart. She and Lu Li were both old foxes in love, so they were evenly matched when it came to acting. They didn't want each other to feel disgusted.

"Then, just now, there was a young lady concubine who was extremely happy when she saw this. How about you let her accompany your concubine as well?"

"Oh? "To think that there would be someone who would cause Love Consort to look at him differently. I'm going to have a taste of him after all."

How could he not know what Yuwen Lingxi meant?

"Then Your Majesty will just follow chenqie."

"Alright, alright, alright. I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you."
